Résumé

The orientation of programming languages seems to follow two main directions: The first one corresponds to a seek of major companies to get more and more power over end users, while limiting their own responsibility in a kind of "democracy" under trusteeship. The other one is a quest for independence of the users expressed, for instance, in the free software movement. While the first tendency leads to a severe limitation of programmers' possibilities and to a uniformization of "personal" softwares restricted to "macro-softwares", the needs of the second one for coherency might lead to the introduction of another kind of operating system responsible for a language-independent compilation, which we shall call a language operating system, allowing a new level of integration: language-level integration.
